Why is my Ford Ranger making strange noises when I accelerate?

I recently purchased a used Ford Ranger and have noticed that when I accelerate, it makes a strange noise. It almost sounds like a low growling or grinding noise. It does not happen all the time, but it seems to be getting worse. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

It is possible that there could be an issue with your exhaust system. It may be a loose component or a damaged muffler or catalytic converter. I suggest taking it to a mechanic for further inspection.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a problem with the transmission. It's best to have a professional check it out to prevent any further damage.
